Sharon Kathleen Schauer, 74, Butternut

Sharon Kathleen (Weeks) Schauer
Age 74, of Butternut, lost her courageous battle to cancer on Friday, December 20, 2024 at
Marshfield Medical Center in Park Falls. Born June 24, 1950, Sharon was raised in Shorewood,
WI by her loving parents Kathleen (Kirkey) and Raymond Weeks.
On August 25, 1973, she married Greg Schauer in Glendale. They started their family in West
Bend where they had two children, Matthew and Megan before moving to Butternut in 2000.
Sharon enjoyed all things crafting, antiques, gardening, experimenting with fish in her
aquariums and of course her Irish Wolfhounds. She was very active with the Trail Midgets ATV
Club. In the north woods, Sharon spent her free time searching for antiques and other items of
interest with the intent to upcycle and or resell them. There was rarely an auction she didn’t
know about. Some of the most organized chaos you’ve ever seen. Most of all she embraced
being the world’s greatest Nana.
Whether you knew her as Sharon, Nana or “Mom” she radiated warmth and unconditional love
to those who needed it most. Everyone who knew her knew the door was open and there was
always a seat at the table. She was fierce and feisty and she loved the same way, with her
whole heart. She will be the brightest star on the darkest night to continue guiding the ones she
loves.
She is survived by her husband Greg, their two children; Matthew (Stacy) Schauer, Megan
Schauer, a grandson Elijah Schauer, one sister Laura (Carlton) Lodsdon, and by nieces,
nephews, and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Kathleen
and Raymond Weeks, Imelda Dorau and Vernon Kohlwey, two brothers David Kohlwey and
William Weeks.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Sharon’s name to Catkins Animal Rescue.
A celebration of life will be held from 12:00pm – 5:00pm on Saturday June 21, 2025, at Midway
Bar in Butternut.
Birch Street Funeral Service is assisting the family.
